About this course

What does this cyber awareness course cover?

The one-hour course introduces common cyber threats and the everyday part employees play in protecting workplace systems. The modules cover phishing and social engineering, password security and multi-factor authentication, safe browsing and email, protecting devices and responding to an incident.

It is intended for staff who use digital systems at work, including office workers and managers. The focus is employee awareness of common threats and the day-to-day handling of devices, email and data.

Which data-security subject do you need?

Choose UK GDPR and data protection for personal-data handling and privacy topics. PCI DSS awareness focuses on card payment data. Both provide a separate syllabus for staff whose responsibilities include those subjects.

Frequently asked questions

Why do staff need cyber security training?

Attackers target people before they target systems, and a phishing email to a member of staff is the most common way into a business. The ICO also expects organisations to train anyone who handles personal data, as part of accountability under UK GDPR.

What does cyber security training cover?

It covers recognising phishing and social engineering, password security and multi-factor authentication, safe browsing and email habits, protecting devices and data, and how to report a suspected incident quickly.

Who needs cyber security training?

Anyone with a work email address or access to customer data, which in most organisations means almost everyone. Office staff, managers, and remote workers are common targets because attackers go after the inbox, not the job title.

How often should cyber security training be refreshed?

Annual refreshers are common practice, since attack methods change quickly. Many organisations also re-run training after an incident or near miss, and your £35 licence lets you retake the course whenever you need to.
